Appreciate your instructions on why you choose certain colors for warmth and shading, as well, your comment about using long continous strokes. I always learn something new with each video.
A very harmoniously blended piece
I like the moment your paintings come alive paul. Many thanks for your videos
Neato Paul, What a great picture. Wednesdays are the highlight of the week thanks to you and Margot. Love your humor. Thanks, Sherry
Amazing. I think I found my mentor. I'm an Illustrator and have been at this for 50 years and I'm still learning. Thank you.
Wonderful David and thanks - agree - we all never stop learning!
Hey there Paul, this is Rita.... Love, love love... just finished painting my brother in law's 1987 Ford Bronco II Limited Addition, however, tires are a bit daunting ... the tires were a bit wonky, (I was tired out) ... until I watched a few tutorials on painting cars and tires!!! I couldn't toss the first one in the trash because the rest of it was okay ... so, I aged it a bit in a field of grass and placed a sign up that said "best in show 1987". then I painted the one I thought was more like the one he took much care to preserve. He loved them both which now hang in his garage. I love the rusty ones. Their is a certain allure. Thank you for this tutorial. And thank you for taking the time to care of all who care so much about learning how to paint . God Bless!!!
Hi Rita - lovely comment - thanks!
Hi Paul, I just read that Frank Clarke (have some more fun) passed away in Dec. What a loss. He and yourself have done so much for us novices on the point of encouragement. Thanks for sharing your gift. Phil from Ohio
Hi neighbor, neat to see someone else from Ohio on this channel. I'm in the NE rural Ohio.
Hi Aliscia, I'm in Canton, where are you? Thanks for writing
Nice job with the tractor. every stroke adds to the overall impression!
It’s a realistic, cool old tractor. The color is elegant.💕🐬
Mr Paul, you have tugged at my heartstrings today! My daddy absolutely loved his tractor. He was 87 when he passed and was on his tractor a week before he died. He taught my son to drive/use it and those are such sweet memories. I’m going to certainly try to paint this one! As always, thank you so much for your tutorials.
What a great story, thanks for sharing Angie!
I see myself riding off in that tractor. It’s really lovely,Paul.
Hi Paul, Being a farmboy of, what seems like a hundred years ago, this watercolour struck a chord with me. Thank you, my friend. Come back soon. PS. A perfect colour choice for this rusty derelict from years past! Eric...
Glad you enjoyed it
Fabulous, love this old tractor painting.
Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This will help me get painting again. Great teaching style.
Really enjoyed watching this video, reminds me of summer holidays spent on my uncle's farm in Devon in the 50s and 60s. learning to drive on T30 Fergy and Zetors, and getting tipsy on local cider-what great times! Thanks for all your videos!
Дякую, Paul.Захоплююсь Вашими уроками, Ви для мене як ковток свіжого і чистого повітря!
Many thanks Luda!
Love this, Paul, thank you! A few years back I painted my brother's tractor while staying at his place for a week. It was in my journal. He liked it so much I took it out (I'd only do that for him), framed it, and it now resides on his desk. I keep telling myself I need to paint it again. After watching you I think I'll do just that! You're so inspiring.
Thanks, great tutorial!
Two weeks plus
They will be having her walk around as soon as she is able. Remember I have that nice Walker that she will need. I can bring it over. We are all praying for her and Kelly
I was feeling tired but when I watched this, I relaxed very well.
Its My First time watching a painting in detail & with lots of Tips... thank you sir
So nice of you
As a farmer's daughter, this is beautiful and is taught so well. Thank you.
So nice of you
hi Paul what a lovely tractor painting just up my street can't wait to give it a go
You outdid yourself on this Paul, absolutely incredible
Hey Paul - you are amazing. The music to your tutorial is so relaxing I almost fell asleep - but just managed to stay focused. Thank you for allowing us to watch your videos free of charge.
You're very welcome!
Love this painting. My tractor doesn't have any character. It's too new. One day I want an old one with character. Thanks, tractors are one of my favorite things.
Great painting, great subject. It’s inspired me to paint a Morris Commercial lorry that is being restored by family.
Superb Paul. Great to watch a master at work! Thankyou.
What a wonderful time to watch this coming to life. Thank you so much.❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love watching you paint. I love this picture.
How wonderful in this day and age to hear you say how you love to give you wisdom and talent for free on u. Tube you really are wonderfully gifted and inspire us all.
Wow, thank you!
Gorgeous! Love the colors and subject. Rust is my jam! ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
I absolutely loved the video of the old rustic tractor, I’m going to give it a try. My late husband was a farmer all his life and had quite an array of old tractors….thanks for the memories. Sincerely, Victoria from Dahlonega, Ga
That is awesome, thanks Victoria from Dahlonega!
Good morning 🍳🥛🍩☕ dear Paul 💋! I welcome you to your cozy watercolor studio and am happy to write another commentary on the new video! Amazing topic - rural equipment! There is something sad in this with notes of sadness 😔! The old hard worker-tractor has worked out his life and is now abandoned, proving to be useless, rusting in the air. Only a talented artist managed to smooth over the lonely fate of the old tractor and give it a second life in his picture, presenting it in all its glory, depicting it as an honest worker who gave all his strength for the good of people! Of course, there are many machines that are indispensable in agriculture, faithful helpers for farmers - combines, seeders .... Even when they become unusable, they retain their dignity, but only a brilliant artist who can see the beauty even in such an old one technique can see it and subtly notice all the nuances ! Thank you Paul for your rare talent and I like 👍 for the work of art! All the best to you and further success. Bye ... bye ... P.S. Sorry Paul could not be the first to respond to your video, we had a disconnected Internet -for preventive work on the line of the Internet provider!
👍👍👍🎨🎨🎨🖼️🖼️🖼️♥️♥️♥️🚜🚜🚜😊😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗🤗🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️
Do you agree with me Paul?or not.....???❤❤❤💋💋💋👍👍👍😊🖐🖼🎨🌹🌹🌹
Hi Adela - glad to hear your internet is working now. What a lovely comment, beautifully written and poetic and agree with it all! - take care Paul
@@ArtbyPaulClark Thank you Paul for responding to my comment! Always agree with me! I love only the word "Yes"! The word "No" does not exist for me, only "Yes" ..... otherwise 🙄😪💪🤛🤜✊💣🔨🔫🏹🗡️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Dear Paul it was only a joke , I love different jokes and practical jokes !!! Do not be angry dear 💋... !!!
Your work is so, so pretty.
Dear Paul, I really like your choice of topic. I just watched it, but I enjoyed your presentation material throughout. This is my favorite video right now. I'll start tomorrow morning.
Such a great artist and teacher as well. My kind of painting bc I was originally from New England, rock walls, barns, sloping hills and trees.
Old cars, wooden gates and yes sometimes birds or sleeping dogs. But you offered the glazing, suggested brushes and colors. Thank U, thank U. You now have a selected spot in my library. Inspiration as well. Haven't touched my paints in 3 years. Grief issues! You have resurrected my need to paint again. Thank U.
Cheers Susan - thanks for sharing!
Is there anything cooler to paint than a vintage tractor in a scruffy old farm yard? Very enjoyable indeed.
Not that I know of! 😁
well done paul 1st class painting again please keep painting subject matter was very good brilliant just brilliant
Wow, speechless! Just WOW
Hello Paul, wow you have lifted my spirits and I feel that I could watch your videos to know I could pick up my watercolour paints again. Thank you xxx I’ve made only a small donation but will do so every time I watch one of your videos xxxx
That's very kind - thanks Brenda!
Just love the themed T-shirt. 😄
Oh wow, my husband has a Case tractor and it’s his birthday next month! Brilliant Birthday present idea!! I’ll have to leave it orange though!
Such a beautiful video and painting. Thank you very much Paul❤
Thank you, the next time I need rust I will try the blue and orange. And a big thank you to all those (past, present, and future) in the farming community. We would not be here without them.
Well said Essie!!!!
Thank you so much for teaching me how to paint! ❤️ God bless you so much 😊
I've watched this several times over the past few weeks and each time it still seems fresh and new. I fully intend to do this painting, perhaps two or three times. Old cars from the 30s are a passion of mine and this will be an important learning project. P.S, That background music is beautiful as well.
Wonderful, glad you enjoyed it Bill 👍
I can’t thank you enough for all the work you put into these amazing videos. I am still working on the sketching skills and your PDF’s provide a wonderful and helpful guide. I tackle my Parkinson’s every day by drawing and you have introduced me to the world of watercolors. I have a beginner set and a few brushes. So far I’ve been slapped in the face as my paper curled faster than one could imagine so I tape it to my desk with painters tape. I have a LONG way to go but watching you keeps me inspired. Thank you so much. Jim in Oregon
Very kind - many thanks and delighted to help!
Beautiful work..and beautiful calm song..this time, like for it also..
Paul! I just love this painting. Choosing to depict itthe tractor in Blue it reminds me of my old Fordson Major although it had exhausts on the bonnet. Elderly when I was thrilled to start driving it for harvest 1950 when I was 11. When I was heavy enough to depress the clutch when I stood with all my weight on it I was untrusted with this machine, two four whelped trailers and two men to draw in the sheaves of corn. What a thrill. One small thing, No farmer I ever knew and I have known many in three countries, would ever dump a tractor bearing such new looking tyres - or indeed any. Always so many alternative sea for them. Fantastica. I Love it. Look forward to having a go
m
Beautiful work. It reminded me of the importance to keep going back in with stronger colour to add depth.
You get beauty from the simple scenes ! Thank you Paul 😊
My pleasure!
Another great video Paul nice to go back to country scenes 👍
Paul, thank you for this lovely nostalgic rendition of farm life. The image, background, foreground and detail arouse vivid memories for me when my wife and four young children lived and loved our country home. This takes me there, Thank you. Tommy Brewer
Great to hear Tommy
Thanks so much, Paul. I so enjoyed but was not distracted by your tractor. I learn so much from you and enjoyed my breakfast again with you on this Watercolor Wednesday!
Very nice Paul! I am a Minnesota USA gal who grew up on a farm. My farmer father would have loved this scene while not quite accepting the blue Case tractor!!! Job well done. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it
Fantastic tutorial as always. I started painting a year ago after I retired and find your videos so informative. My work has come on in leaps and bounds since I started following you. Many thanks.
Great to hear! - thanks
Am surprised so many females liked this. I wasn't sold until you painted it blue. (My grandmother had to tint my milk blue to get me to drink it). It came out a very lovable tractor, I must say, though I'm a suburbanite who prefers modern cars that don't rust and break down. I can see how a farmer could love this💕💙Very nicely done!
Thank you! Cheers Sharon. Love the blue milk concept 🤣
Everything in this painting is so beautiful: the background, the stones, the grass, the tractor of course. It all comes together so harmoniously. Thank you, Paul for yet another fantastic tutorial. There are many great watercolor channels on RUclips, but your channel is by far my favourite.
What a fantastic result !
Great tutorial as always, many thanks
Thank you! Cheers
im loving this one Paul i dont do much wet in wet so will be good for me t give it a go .thanks for your free time every week ,and you music is cool this week too
Thanks 👍
You found my tractor !!!
Great choice of theme !!
Great colors !
Well explained !
Not sure about the half time beer
Paul - Huge thanks for this one...could watch you paint for hours. You are a truly inspiring!!!! Cheers......
Thank you so much 😀
I ABSOLUTELY HAD TO DO THIS ONE !!! I love it..I think I tend to lean toward old things in some state of deterioration sitting in grasses..They seem to be my favorites..Mailboxes, Bicycles, etc.
Thanks again for all your expertise..I really love doing your tutorials..Enjoy your weekend..😇
You are so welcome Missy 👍
That’s a beautiful painting Paul. The tractor looked a bit flat at first but adding the details really brought it out. I loved the music too, especially the song. And the beer!
Thank you so much 😀
Love it ! your taste in background music I love also.
Absolutely mesmerising, you make it look sooooooooooo easy. Mine would look like Gypsies have been fly tipping again!
I’m going to take what I’ve learned from this tutorial and apply it to painting from a photograph of my husband’s old Allis Chalmers. He won’t be amused by Turing an orange tractor blue, so I have a challenge in front of me. I’m thinking a good deal of burnt sienna and burnt umber. Thanks for the inspiration!
Sorry, Alan: turning, not Turing.
A very interesting painting! I enjoyed it very much!
Thank you so much 😀
Rust n barbed wire...who knew it would be so attractorive!!
A good wee bit of everything in there Paul..😁😁
Another great tutorial! Much more my ‘cup of tea’ than the black paper one 😉
Thanks again, Paul.
.... me too David - have fun!
I like pictures of old machinery being absorbed into nature. The contrast between soft foliage and hard metal fascinates me. If you want to make my day could you try a similar theme with a steam locomotive, or a traction engine - perhaps even an aeroplane?
Great tutorial; you had that old tractor singing but you added so many tips and techniques which were so helpful! Thanks 💗
Glad it was helpful!
Ah Paul, that was pure magic to watch! The fact that you so very generously provide the drawing templates for these tutorials also makes it so accessible to us as drawing is the downfall of many of us who are amateur painters. Thank you so very much. I thoroughly enjoyed it and really can't wait to give it a whirl. 💕
Very instructive and relaxing to watch. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
My pleasure 😊
I love watching you paint, thank you for all that you do 😊
Thank you so much 😀
Love this one, of course I love everyone you paint! Wednesday is my favorite day of the week. Always a great big thank you for your teaching!
Thank you so much 😀
Just gorgeous. Thank you. I have organized myself to paint this tomorrow.
Have fun Joyce!
Lovely painting, wii give this a go for sure, thank you Sir.
Merci beaucoup Paul ! Encore une fois magnifique ! Il y a beaucoup de tracteur dans la campagne en bourgogne j en suis ravie !
Je pense que je vais boire de la bière pour être là meilleur comme vous 🤩 belle journée à vous et vos proche 🎨🌈🌎👏
Merci aussi!
I really like this one Paul, one of your best. I particularly like that you have not just painted a tractor but a rusty old tractor that has been pushed by the wall and left with the grasses growing around it, Can we please have some more of this type of painting.
Love love love this! I love old tractors and i love the blue!! Thank you so much .. I will try this soon🤩
You are so welcome!
I find myself coming back to Mr Clark's videos time & again, and it is easy to see why! I happen to work on a farm-he nailed it. Loved the music in this one too!
Great to hear!
and now your grass video will be even more popular. thank you so much :)
So nice of you Cladia - many thanks!
another ripper Paul - I learnt much about constantly returning to areas to add detail (without overdoing it) and admired your brush control immensely
Aussie Phil
Cheers Phil
wow, what a treat seeing this one all come together! Thank You, so much!!
I love this one! Wonderful!
magic hands, talented mind, and so big heart to share such beautiful art with us
I love all your paintings Paul and loved this one in particular.
Absolutely loved this tutorial! Thanks Paul.
Whoa!!!! Thanks for this! Can I sketch a tractor?!! Thanks to you, at least I have no fear. I still need to watch last week's video! This is wonderful, Paul.
Thanks as always J!
Great tutorial. Enchanting painting. It is such a nice object. I am back in childhood, sitting beside of my uncle on such a tractor, driving among fields an meadows. Thanks a lot for lovely thougts
Thank you so much 😀
An excellent picture with nice background music! ❤🙏
Thanks for listening
You make the paintings very enjoyable. Your teaching techniques, your voice, everything spot-on. Love the T-shirt have to get one for my husband. keep up the good work
Thank you very much! ... got it on Amazon!
As always, another Wonderful Wednesday! This old gal is sitting here cozily ensconced in front of the fire here in very, very cold and snowy New Hampshire watching this delightful video for the third time!! It is so mesmerizing between watching your masterful strokes as you create this lovely old tractor sitting in the summer grass by the old stone wall and enjoying the ethereal background music. It evokes memories of those warm summer days. This one will be quite the challenge for me but I can't resist. Such great timing, I just received my new tube of beautiful cobalt blue 💙 by M. Graham and I have been dying to try it! 👩🦳🖌️
That sounds great Deborah - keep warm and the that new tube of Cobalt working!!!!
I love old tractors!
Amazing project! The way you take a bulldozer photo, you get it old and you fit it in a nice landscape is stunning! Thank you very much to share your skills.
Really great teacher you’re.
I Learnt lots of techniques from you and my watercolour painting improved lot.
Thank you.
My pleasure 😊
My husband is an ex farmer - he will love this for his office. Thank you so much Paul. Always enjoy your tutorials. Thank you so much.
i love how it turned out !!! stunning ty for showing how to paint it
You are so welcome!
Love this one! Reminds me of my grandpa's tractor. You have inspired me to attempt to paint one of his tractors for my dad's 85th birthday. Thank you so much!!
Easily one of the best tutorials ever Paul. So nostalgic. I was immediately back on a hobby farm in NZ 50 years ago with a little "Fergie". Exquisite detail to a lovely old subject.
Great old tractor painting Paul. I love doing these kinds of watercolors…. Old trucks, old barns, old Tractors, etc. Fairly realistic but with subtle and loose surroundings. Can’t wait to “give it a go”. Thanks again for a wonderful tutorial.
Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it
